Last we checked in with 424 Lafayette Avenue, the developer was trying to flip the site before starting construction. Now look at it: It’s all grown up into a Scarano wannabe. The seven-unit building is described in the listings as being located in “the heart of Historic Clinton Hill,” which is a bit of a stretch, given that it’s east of Classon. (It is conveniently located across the street from the projects, though.) The interiors look fine in a mid-2005-Developers-Group kinda way. As for pricing, there are three smaller units priced between $272,000 and $359,000 and three 932-square-foot units priced between $615,000 and $625,000. Not crazy dough for the units themselves, but this location ain’t exactly scenic. There’s an open house this Sunday from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m.

Development Opp: Midstream on Lafayette [Brownstoner]
There are quite a few condos around there, although $670 a square foot seems awful high.
That’s the same price as most of the new development in Williamsburg that isn’t on the water. The only people who would rather live here versus Williamsburg would those associated with Pratt in some fashion. As bad as the L is, I would prefer to live by that than the G.
“why are we always looking at this sort of crap on a blog named “brownstoner”?”
Because it was built in brownstone brooklyn. It’s relevant.
Oh, you whiny PS beotches! Stop sniffing your plaster dust and join the rest of the world. There are more important things than your silly little hobby.
BILLYBURG RULES!!!!!!
“The interiors look fine in a mid-2005-Developers-Group kinda way.” Are you kidding me!? These interiors look more like late February or early March 2005 not “mid-2005.” This look was totally dead by April.
1:15…I truly doubt that this “thing” replaced any projects. But I truly don’t see how it is any more aesthetically pleasing than the PJs other than its smaller scale. Give it another 35-50 years and it will look as tawdry as any public housing in the neighborhood.
“the interiors look fine”??? you have got to be kidding me – the space allocated to bedrooms is literally more than twice the space devoted to living. What are these people thinking? so absurd.
I think it makes us appreciate good, solid construction, 1:18.
Every time I see shit like this, I’m so thankful I live in a Brownstone.
They aren’t making any more of them, so these ugly monsters are usually built on vacant lots or teardowns.
The arguement I suppose it whether or not you prefer a vacant lot next to a project or this thing.
I suppose I prefer the latter.
why are we always looking at this sort of crap on a blog named “brownstoner”?
This monstrosity is the antithesis of a brownstone or of any historic dwelling.
It is this type of exploitative construction that is ruining the scale and character of brownstone Brooklyn. I hate it.
yuck.
